Character Education Word of the Month
Character Education has become increasingly important. If schools are to achieve high academic achievement and to establish a safe and orderly learning environment, they must first promote positive character traits. Schools must also work with parents, families, and civic organizations to help students develop the qualities to become responsible adults in our society.
We will be teaching, modeling, and encouraging these traits in our classrooms and school. In addition, we will be recognizing students each month for showing good character. You, as the most important adults in your child's lives, are the first and most influential character teachers they have. Please follow up our efforts at school with your own discussions at home to help your child internalize these character traits.
